Gu Zhao returned to the courtyard.

She planned to go to Xie's house and keep watch with her grandparents.

"Have the arrangements been made?"

"In reply to the young lady, it has been arranged."

Gu Zhao nodded, and took Cuihua and Honger and walked towards the courtyard wall next to him.

It’s better to go directly to Qin Chen’s yard next door than to go through the back door.

"Hello, Miss Gu."

When Qin Liu and Qin Qi saw Gu Zhao, they immediately saluted him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Zhao took a carriage and went directly to Xie's house.

Seeing Gu Zhao coming in, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie were very surprised.

"Zhao'er, why are you here now?"

"The granddaughter wants to keep vigil with her grandparents."

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie were very happy.

"But it's dark now. If Minister Gu and the others knew you were coming out like this, they would be unhappy."

"Don't worry, Grandma. I've arranged everything."

Gu Zhao accompanied her grandparents to keep watch all night, and then returned to the courtyard arranged for her in the Xie Mansion to rest.

This is the courtyard where my mother used to live in Xie's mansion. Everything here remains the same as it was back then.

Looking at the things here, Gu Zhao felt very sad. She missed her mother very much, but her mother was killed and could not come back.

When Gu Zhao was getting ready to go to bed, he heard someone knocking on the window.

"who."

After asking the question, Gu Zhao realized that he was a little stupid. Who could be the one knocking on the window at this time?

If it were anyone else, Cuihua and Honger would definitely have fought with him.

She opened the window and saw Qin Chen standing outside in black.

"come in."

Gu Zhao looked at Qin Chen and said.

"Why aren't you on night watch at the mansion? Why are you here?"

"Cough cough cough."

Hearing Qin Chen's cough, Gu Zhao became nervous. She immediately stretched out her hand to feel Qin Chen's pulse.

I was relieved to see that his condition was stable.

"It just so happens that I haven't given you acupuncture for a few days. Now that you are lying down, I will give you acupuncture."

"it is good."

After Qin Chen finished speaking, he lay down on the chaise longue next to him.

After acupuncture, Gu Zhao looked outside.

"It's curfew now, so you have to be careful when you go back."

Qin Chen took out a dagger from his arms. It was inlaid with gems and looked very beautiful, and there was also a big red envelope.

"New Year's gift and lucky money for you."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao looked at him in surprise.

"Thank you."

Qin Chen raised his head and rubbed Gu Zhao's head.

"The fireworks are set off every year. The mornings and evenings are filled with peace every year."

The two of them said this at the same time.

Gu Zhao and Qin Chen's eyes met. For some reason, Gu Zhao felt that her heart was beating very fast.

Her palms were sweating.

Qin Chen stared at her with deep eyes. Could it be that he liked her?

Impossible, if he liked her, why didn't he express it? Maybe he just treated her as a benefactor?

After all, she can cure his poison.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen recovered a little and smiled at Qin Chen.

"It's getting late. You should go back first. Or you can sleep in the study over here."

"Okay, I'll sleep in the study."

Gu Zhao raised his eyes and asked Cuihua to bring two more pots of charcoal fire over when he heard this.

After Qin Chen left, Gu Zhao looked at the dagger in her hand. She waved it a few times and she liked it very much.

Gu Zhao put the dagger under his pillow and fell asleep.

Gu Zhao was awakened by Cuihua in the morning and quietly returned to his own courtyard in the Gu Mansion.

"Miss, it's still early, you should get some more sleep."
